Neglect

So I've been neglecting to blog lately. Having a puppy is like having a child. I constantly have to watch her to make sure she doesn't have an accident in the house while we're trying to potty train her. But I didn't think that having a puppy would be so time consuming. I know it'll get better once she's potty trained and we can start leaving her but geez...we do everything with her. We take her everywhere if we're going to be gone for more than 2 hours. I admit that I am quite attached to her tho. She is my little baby. So sorry for the neglect but I'll be getting back to speed here soon.

The baby

Yesterday I drove to Hartley, DE with my sis-in-law and we got my baby. I've been waiting weeks to get her and she's here. Her name is Hana. She is cuter than I remembered. She is like a little baby. She whines, eats, sleeps, plays, and goes to the bathroom (not necessarily in that order). She is so frickin cute. Although, I'm a little tired because she doesn't sleep through the night so we constantly had to get up and take her out.

But all in all, I'm pretty much in love with her. Here's some pics and a video of her playing.

Ocean City

Since Wed. night, Ryan and I have been staying in Ocean City. Ryan's dad rents a condo every year for the car show. Ryan's two uncles from Texas flew in and stayed there as well. I'm not into cars and these guys sat on the balcony for the past couple of days just watching cars drive by. That would drive me crazy if that is what I did all day but the guys loved it. It was nice because we did get some quality family time in with his fam and it was really good seeing his uncles from Texas since we never get to. Also Gillie's birthday was on Friday so we celebrated with her and on Saturday night, Ry and I went to Seacrets. My friend Fiona, who I don't get to see often came down so it was nice hanging with her. Here's some pics from the past couple of days in OC.

Old pic

So I have the whole facebook, myspace thing and yesterday I got a message on facebook telling me that someone tagged a photo of me. It was from a friend Amber who I haven't seen in probably over a year and was wondering what photo she would be tagging of me. She used to dance with me years ago so here's an old photo of me when I was a dancer. It's pretty sweet. I'm the one standing in the back with that awesome pose...haha.

Trust in God

So the other night at our community group (it's kinda like a bible study/time to hang out and talk), we had a common theme...Trusting in God. Here's my confession...I have a hard time doing that. I know that God has plans for me. But it's so hard to give my life fully to God. I think that that is our human nature. I've realized that my main desire is to fully trust God. We also talked about our fears. I think my greatest fear is that right now in my life, I'm completely happy...I have an amazing husband who I have such an incredible love for and I'm so scared that in an instant, that can be taken from me. After sharing this at our group, we believe that the devil is in the mist of those thoughts. So if I could just fully trust in God, I could release those types of thoughts. So this is my prayer request. I desire to fully trust in God. I'm still young in my faith and have a lot to learn about God. I want to face my fears and fully trust in His will for me. Pray that I can fully trust in Him...that is my desire.

House update #2

So here's some pics of the house. We sat down with the construction manager on Friday and he still told us that he thinks settlement will be in August. Please pray that it'll be ready by July! But yeah about the lack of shingles on our roof, they accidently put a fo-dormer on our roof when it was supposed to go on our neighbors. So they ripped it off and put it on the proper home.

Facing my fear

So last week, Ryan left me for 5 days. =( Some of you may know that I am a scaredy cat. I hate being home alone and I'm so flighty. So I stayed at Stacy's house the first two nights. I wasn't getting a very good sleep so I decided to stay at my house the next night. That evening I went out to eat with my sister-in-law, Janelle, and she said I could take Bruiser with me as my guard dog. So here he was my sweet little guard dog. But in all seriousness, he barked at everything. I took him back early cuz he kept barking at the people moving around in the apartment above us. I made it thru but I was very happy when Ry came home. I hated being away from him.

24

So another year of my life has gone by. On Sunday, the 4th, I turned 24 years old.

I had a great birthday because I have wonderful friends. We celebrated with my family on friday and went to Market Street with some of my closest friends that night. On my birthday, Ryan made me chocolate chip pancakes and we spent the morning together. We went to church and there I had to say goodbye to Ryan for the next few days. That kinda sucked but he's going on a trip to Altanta with the staff for a conference. Then Stacy wanted to take me out to lunch. So we went to La Tolteca and had a great lunch. From there I went to the mall. Then I headed over to Gillie's where we had a nice relaxing evening just chillin on the deck. She had made me a mini birthday cake and there they sang to me. Overall, it was a wonderful birthday. Thanks to all who made it so special. I love you guys.
